Britney Spears dismisses ‘hypocritical’ documentaries about her

Britney Spears on Monday criticized several documentaries made about her life as “hypocritical” and highlighting “the most negative and traumatizing times in my life.”

Spears shared a video on Instagram of her dancing with a caption reading “So many documentaries about me this year with other people’s takes on my life … what can I say … I’m deeply flattered.”

“These documentaries are so hypocritical,” she continued. “They criticize the media and then do the same thing????? Damn … I don’t know y’all but I’m thrilled to remind you all that although I’ve had some pretty tough times in my life … I’ve had waaaayyyy more amazing times in my life.”

Spears also wrote “isn’t this supposed to be a business and society about THE FUTURE???? Why highlight the most negative and traumatizing times in my life from forever ago????” 

The New York Times earlier this year released the documentary “Framing Britney Spears” on Hulu, which drew attention to the legal conservatorship that the 39-year-old pop star is under and criticized media treatment of her career.

Following the release of the documentary, Spears said on her Instagram that she did not watch it, but she “cried for two weeks” after viewing parts of it.

“I didn’t watch the documentary but from what I did see of it I was embarrassed by the light they put me in…I cried for two weeks and well…I still cry sometimes!!!!” she shared in March.

The BBC over the weekend released another documentary on the singer titled “The Battle for Britney: Fans, Cash and a Conservatorship.”

In the Monday Instagram post, Spears appeared to deny an allegation from one of her former makeup artists, Billy Brasfield, who has claimed that Spears told him she did not write her previous Instagram post criticizing The New York Times documentary, Variety reported.  

“PSSSS I don’t actually talk to Billy B AT ALL so I’m honestly very confused!!!” Spears said on Monday.

Spears is scheduled to discuss the status of her conservatorship in court in June.

Spears has sought to have her father, Jamie Spears, removed as conservator in the arrangement she has been under since 2008 after suffering a public mental health crisis.
